The Capybara Heiress and the Cold-Blooded CEO

My name is Jiang Tingxue. In my previous life, I was a capybara who wanted nothing to do with the world. In this life, I was reborn as a calm and lazy person.

Even though, as a human, I'm the bitter daughter disliked by my whole wealthy family, it doesn't matter. I still have a capybara's essential skills: staying calm, eating my fill, and sleeping. Life is still peaceful and carefree.

Then one day, my bargain-bin dad told me to marry Shen Ji, the business tycoon rumored to be ruthless and dark-tempered.

Chewing on a leaf, I didn't even look up. "Whatever."

On the eve of our wedding, Shen Ji laid down three rules with a blank expression: this marriage was only to fulfill an agreement made by our grandparents. He wouldn't fall for me, and I was to keep my distance.

I nodded and kept chewing on the plate of lettuce in front of me. "Sure. Whatever."

As far as I was concerned, nothing mattered. If I had food and sleep, it was a sunny day.

After we married, I carried on as usual: eating, bathing, sunbathing, and occasionally daydreaming in the courtyard, as happy as I had been in my past life as a capybara.

But Shen Ji gradually started acting strange.

First, I heard his footsteps pacing outside the bathroom while I bathed. Then, while I admired the scenery, he dressed up in all his finery and sat not far from me to work on his documents. Later, as I napped, he secretly tucked a blanket over me...

One stormy night, a faint noise woke me.

My husband, who claimed he "wouldn't talk about love after marriage," knocked on my door.

Lying on one side of the bed, I poked Shen Ji as he squeezed in beside me with a pillow and kindly reminded him, "You have to keep your distance."

But Shen Ji pushed his luck, wrapped his arms around my waist, buried his face in the hollow of my neck, and mumbled,

"It's thundering. I'm scared."

"You have to hold me while I sleep."
